My dad would never let me mow that lawn because it was too 'dangerous'. When I pointed out it was mean that he was willing to risk his son's life I got grounded for sassing off.

Teach him to rinse his own damn bottles obviously ;-)

Interesting questions...wasn't Andrew born after Alex was in college? If so would he count as he wasn't there to help with chores in the formative years?

Well, the study was of boys with only female siblings so if you have 'brothers' it may not cover your situation.

Four people? Seriously four (4)? Crap, I better exit soon. I really don't want that mob coming after me.

Same question here.

Yeah...writing is so archaic. Put your telepathic tin hat on and we can really chat.

You're freakin' totally right dude.

Thank goodness you don't make a living of correct writing...

Good 'ol Song of Solomon:

"I've read four unauthorized biographies of Smith's life, watched every episode of her E! reality show, along with every weight-loss special or unflattering documentary the channel ever aired, and created my own personal DVD catalog of Smith's Entertainment Tonight and The Insider appearances."

Yeah, I came back too late to edit my previous post. On the video screen capture front, it's definitely a sweater with a heart on it. It must be the interview lights are washing out the color so the sweater just blends in perfectly with the fur.

Well then, if most writers on a blog site don't write to your standards you do realize it might be time to find a new site.

Hmm...I just checked all Anna's posts for the day and see exactly one (1) instance of 'you guys'. Not even mentioning it's nowhere to be found in the actual post you commented on. Could you provide citations for the other 29 instances you speak of?

Odd question, but did anyone else notice the teddy puts on a sweater mid-way through? During the chat portion he's naked with his heart literally showing, then when he's on the piano watching the performance he has a natty little brown sweater.

Thank you. For some reason that line really irked me. And if you are married with only one car you do pay more than a single person because you need to insure both drivers.

Well, duh...at work of course.

You do realize all those additional employees you want your company to hire cost money, right? How profitable is your business? Can they easily spend an extra $250k-$500k per year? That's the range to bring on 5-10 more employees in the $30k salary range.

But in a bargained-for environment why aren't you going to your union rep?

Maybe not hard, but it is expensive. Do you know what your department budget is? Do your sales/corporate contributions bring in enough actual dollars to afford more staff? Would you and your coworkers be willing to take a pay cut to provide budget to hire more workers?
